The Secret of Ventriloquism by Jon Padgett
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.26MB
Overview: With themes reminiscent of Shirley Jackson, Thomas Ligotti and Bruno Schulz, but with a strikingly unique vision, Jon Padgett’s The Secret of Ventriloquism heralds the arrival of a significant new literary talent.
Padgett’s work explores the mystery of human suffering, the agony of personal existence and the ghastly means by which someone might achieve salvation from both. A bullied child who seeks vengeance within a bed’s hollow box spring, a lucid dreamer haunted by an impossible house, a dummy that reveals its own anatomy in 20 simple steps, a stuttering librarian who holds the key to a mill town’s unspeakable secrets, a commuter whose worldview is shattered by two words printed on a cardboard sign and an aspiring ventriloquist who spends a little too much time looking at himself in a mirror. And the presence that speaks through them all.
